Lesson title
 Relationship of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions to Plate Boundaries
Intent of the lesson
 For students to understand what phenonema occur to determine whether a plate boundary is convergent, divergent or transform.
Ed. standards
 Applicable level and state and national standards
National Standard F:  Lithospheric plates on the scales of continents and oceans constanly move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.  Major geologic events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and mountain building, result from these plates.
NC Standard 2.02: Analyze the historical development of the theory of plate tectonics.
Orientation
 Introduce available tools and concepts so that students feel safe taking intellectual risks
  Intent
 Provide direction  via general instructions to determine students' understanding of the three type of plate margins.
  Procedure  What do students know about plate tectonics?  Upon determining this, if necessary, follow up with  a  general discussion of plate tectonics introducing the types of boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform.Should include a description of any activities or lessons you include to get the students focused on the skills they will use to experience the provocative phenomenon
  Type of Evidence
 Questioning.
  Teacher  profile
 2.Ask questions:  What is a transform boundary.?  Where would you expect to find them?  What is a convergent boundary?  Where would you expect to find one?  What is a divergent boundary? Where would you find an example of this?
  Student profile
 2. Students will answer teachers' questions.
Provacative Phenomenon
 Provide students with a Plate Tectonic Puzzle.  Instruct students that they will cut the puzzle apart and assemble it  as the plates appear today.  Students will need a copy of the puzzle, scissors, glue sticks, red and blue colored pencils.The students will see how the present day plates fit together today and using the directional arrows on the puzzle see that each plate has more than one kind of boundary.
  Intent
 1. Provide an experience to generate student observations:  with hands on experience with the puzzle, the product will show the students understanding of the concepts of boundary types.
  Procedure
 Follow the instructions listed in  the Provacative Phenomenon.
  Type of Evidence
 Observation of student's finished product.
  Teacher profile
 I'm not sure what the reply should be here.!!!!!!
  Student profile
 4 Students will generate questions about the boundary types.
Debriefing
 1.Provides an opportunity for students to ask questions about their finished product.
  Intent
 That students will come to the conclusions that they need to find out about seismic activity.
  Procedure
 Lead students in discussions  that will lead them to the "I wonder" statements of "What events occur along plate boundaries to determine the type of boundary?" and "What kind of information do I need in order to establish the types of boundaries?
  Type of Evidence
 Have students write out questions they have about the activity they have just completed.
  Teacher profile
 1 Provides the student the opportunity to generate the questions.
  Student profile
 4 Generate their own  questions
Experimental design
 Using  the puzzle that students have completed and providing them with a blank  world map with latitude and longitude  have students determine what information they will need to verify plate margine.
Data collection
 Once students have been led to understand that they need  current volcanic and earthquake activity.
  Intent
 1.  Allows learners to determine the datat that need to be collecteds.
  Procedure
 Provide students with the needed web sites with instruction needed as to what data needs to be collected.  Volcanic activity for past two years.  Earthquake activity for earthquakes of a 5+ magnitude for the previous month. <>http://earthref.org/cgi-bin/z-download.cgi?database_name=erda&search_start=advanced&h=html-header&file_path=/projects/earthref/archive/archive/aaab/m000017.i3.divergentmargin.jpg

  Type of Evidence
 Ask questions. What information are you looking for?  What are you going to do with it?
  Teacher profile
 3.  Directs learners as to what evidence to collect and how to collect it.
  Student profile
 1.Given data and told how to use.
Data analysis
 Have students compare puzzle and plotted data.
  Intent
 Students see the relationship between volcanic and earthquake activity and convergent boundaries.,
  Procedure
 Should include detailed instructions of the process and a description of any content lessons necessary to achieve this stage
  Typre of Evidence
 Observation of finished product.  Questions:  Where do you find most of the earthquakes?  Where do you find most of the earthquakes?   How do these relate to boundaries?  Can you formulate a theory for plate tectonics from this data?  If so, what is your conclusion?
  Teacher profile
 2 Guide learner to analyze and interpret data.
  Student profile
   4 Formulates explanation from evidence.
Presentation
 Teacher provides students an opportunity to prepare and communicate what they have learned.
  Intent
 That students are able to present  interpretation of the data they have collected and manipulated.
  Procedure
 Should include detailed instructions of the process and a description of any content lessons necessary to achieve this stage
  Type of Evidence
 Test.  Questions:  Along what kinds of boundary(ies) is most of the seismic activity occurring?  What can you deduce about the activity and the other boundaries?  What kind of information, would you like to gather for those boundaries?
  Teacher profile
 3 Directs the learner with specific instructions on how to present the information.  This may be in the format of a written test.
  Student profile
 1. Provided with a structured guideline for reporting information
